Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: 2018/08 - August
Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library has partnered with the PAC Youth Theater for a summer musical, “Free to Be…You and Me.” The production will be staged for the general public in the library’s Meeting Room at 10:00 A.M. Thursday, August 2; 7:00 P.M. Friday, August 3; and 3:00 P.M. Sunday, August 5. All performances are free for everyone.
“Free to Be…You and Me,” conceived by Marlo Thomas and her friends, offers a timeless message about fitting into the modern world and being happy with yourself, and is suitable for the entire family.
“We’re really excited to be offering this play – especially at this time,” says director Megan Greenlee-Potts. “It uses poetry, song, and sketches to teach that anyone can achieve anything. This message is delivered in a fun, upbeat manner and can be enjoyed by everyone.
“The stars of this show are all local children, who’ve been rehearsing all summer. Even our backstage crew is comprised of students in our PAC Youth Theater. Our set designer and wardrobe artist happens to be my daughter Katie, who’s an alumna of the theater program and is now studying technical theater at Ithaca College. I think audiences will be amazed at what these young people will bring to the stage.”
In fact, even the design of the posters appearing in the twin communities are the product of local children who entered a summer competition.
“The Library is delighted to partner with local Youth Theater and we look forward to offering this production to the entire community,” says Librarian Serenity Richards.
Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library is located at 249 Frank Allen Road. For more information, call (828) 743-0215.
